Cell phones have become such a huge part of peoples’ lives. When once a cell phone could only make calls, it seems like cell phones can do almost anything that can be done on a computer.

As the abilities of our cell phones increase, people have been using their phones while they drive at an alarming rate. When people use their cell phones while driving, it puts everyone in danger.
